Introduced by the Judiciary Committee on January 8, 2013
Proposal to amend Section 29-08-28 of the North Dakota Century Code to the following:
Moneys deposited as bail are the property of the defendant, whether deposited by the defendant or by a third person on the defendant’s behalf. If bail moneys are deposited by a third person, the person must be notified at the time of deposit that the moneys will be paid to the defendant upon final disposition of the case, subject to the moneys being applied to any fine, cost, or restitution due from the defendant or applied to any child support obligation owed by the defendant. When moneys are accepted by the court as bail, the court shall order the moneys deposited with the clerk of the court. The clerk shall retain the moneys until the final order of the court disposing of the case. If the moneys held by the clerk are released, the moneys must be paid to the defendant, unless otherwise ordered by the disposition of the case. The court may order the moneys applied to any fine, cost, or restitution due from the defendant or applied to any child support obligation owed by the defendant. The balance of the deposit, if any, must be paid to the defendant, unless otherwise ordered by the court before disposition of the case. Moneys deposited with the court or clerk of court as bail are exempt from garnishment, attachment, or execution.
